*A sweet grandmother telephoned St.. Joseph's Hospital. She timidly asked,
'Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?'
The operator said, 'I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and
room **number?'
(you have to get past the HIPPA Regs)
The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, 'Norma Findlay Room 302.'
(Probably not sufficient to get past the regs this has just been shared a
few times prior to HIPPA)
The operator replied, 'Let me place you on hold while I check with
her nurse.
After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, 'Oh, I
have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood
pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal, and her
physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday.'
The grandmother said, 'Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried!
God bless you for the good news.' The operator replied, 'You're more than
welcome. Is Norma your daughter?'
The grandmother said, 'No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me shit.'
